Say goodbye to refined sugar

The consumption of this substance potentiates cancer cells and can affect the liver. In addition, it increases glycemia in the body and is one of the main causes of diabetes and other diseases. However, it is possible to sweeten foods naturally with stevia leaves, a plant that grows wild in some Latin American countries and is grown in Colombia.

Reduces consumption of animal protein

Meats are an essential part of the Colombian diet, almost every meal of the day includes some kind of animal protein. However, according to Dr. Rangel, animal farms use hormones and chemicals to accelerate growth processes, so she recommends limiting their consumption.

Similarly, the doctor believes that seafood and pork should be prohibited in any diet because they contain toxic elements. The only really advisable animal protein is goat meat because it is the healthiest and chemical-free.

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables

5 servings a day of these organic foods are recommended, it can be in green extracts, juices, or salads. Vegetables provide unique nutrients to the body that help keep cells oxygenated.

Detoxify

Every day around 2,000 toxins are produced in the environment, including chemicals, materials, pesticides, herbicides, and cleaning products, therefore, it is advisable to detoxify the body at least 3 times a year. Among the natural purgatives that experts recommend are: lemon, coriander, water, sun exposure, and fasting.

Harmony and emotional well-being

The doctor and the chef consider that all diseases of the body are the product of the mind, therefore, the best way to enjoy a healthy life is to find inner peace and emotional balance. Say goodbye to toxic people, avoid stress, and face negative situations as important learnings.

Physical activity allows the body to burn toxins through sweating, this process helps to dispose of heavy metals, pollution, and other elements harmful to the body. People who exercise every day sleep better and have more energy.
